Install UNIQO¶
Premise
UNIQO requires the installation of various software on the development PC and on the targets on which the Q Application will be run. In particular, on target systems the software to be installed varies depending on the operating system. On ASEM HMI target systems, all required software is pre-installed.
To design logics in C# code in projects (see NetLogic and Manage NetLogics in Q Studio), a code editor must be available. Q Studio supports Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 and Microsoft Visual Studio Code. In the absence of these, you can use another code editor of your choice but the development assistance features such as IntelliSense, refactoring and automatic completion will not be available. To install Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code, refer to the Microsoft website.

Configure a Debian 10 target for the UNIQO display engine
Q Applications can create their own graphical interface thanks to the native UNIQO display engine included, or they can be displayed via a web browser (see Presentation engine).
In the first case, the following procedure must be performed on the Debian 10 target:
If Wayland manager is installed and active, disable it: open the file /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf with a code editor and uncomment
#WaylandEnable=false.Install and activate the X11 windows manager.
Install the Xinerama extension from the command line, with the following command:
apt-get install -y libxcb-xinerama0
